These are my photo suggesions and how to reach the Baños de Doña María de Padilla
The Baths of Doña María de Padilla are a famous underground room of the Real Alcázar of Seville, famous for its Gothic-Mudejar architecture and for the legends linked to the figure of María de Padilla, lover of King Pedro I of Castile.
It is actually a large aljibe, a rainwater cistern, built in the Almohad era between the 12th and 13th centuries, and later remodeled in subsequent centuries.
This space is known for being one of the coolest areas in the palace, with temperatures significantly lower than the outside during the Sevillian summer.
How to reach it:
They are located under the Patio del Crucero and under the Salón del Techo de Carlos I, in the heart of the Real Alcázar complex of Seville.
These cisterns aren’t easy to find inside the Alcazar, and there are no clear signs. Follow the signs for “Jardin de la Danza” and then enter through a door. The exact location with Maps by searching for the location does not help to enter as it is an underground place.
My photo suggestions:
The location doesn’t offer many photo opportunities; it’s very dark, so you’ll need a tripod or to shoot at a high ISO and hold your hand steady. There’s water nearby, so you need to capture the reflection on the arches.
You can also take a photo from a different perspective by positioning yourself to one side.
